I haven't exploited 3rd because by the time you need it you are already near the limit. |
Agreed, second gear is the monster gear at low speeds. When on the motorway/dual carriageway and someone who's been holding you up finally moves over, I like to drop her into third and the straight six sings all the way to 95mph very nicely!
